Boerne, Texas, is reaffirming its status as a premier Hill Country destination, welcoming visitors with an elevated dining scene and the anticipated opening of Missick Cellars, a new winery. Despite recent flooding events that have impacted portions of the Texas Hill Country, Boerne is open, vibrant, and ready to offer a refined yet relaxed escape just 30 miles northwest of San Antonio.
Wine enthusiasts have a new reason to visit Boerne with the opening of Missick Cellars. Led by winemaker Chris Missick, the winery offers guests the rare opportunity to book a private wine tasting experience directly with the winemaker, a personal and hands-on experience that goes beyond typical Hill Country tastings. Missick Cellars has already earned recognition on the international stage, recently winning an award at an international wine competition, a testament to the quality and craft behind every bottle.
Boerne has emerged as a premier food destination, featuring restaurants that rival metropolitan scenes while retaining small-town warmth. The Kendall Restaurant, housed within an 1859 landmark on the banks of Cibolo Creek, delivers a sophisticated farm-to-table fine dining experience. Cypress Grille is known for refined American cuisine and popular events like BBQ Sundays and Wine Wednesdays, with a new bar space opening this fall. Valeria offers upscale European dining with a seasonally evolving menu, curated wine dinners, and hands-on cooking classes.
The elevated dining extends to complete weekend retreats. The Kendall Hotel, a boutique inn with 34 individually designed rooms, offers historic charm steps from Main Plaza. Art Spa House, a premium day spa on the historic Hill Country Mile, provides customized treatments for relaxation and rejuvenation.
“Boerne's doors are wide open and our restaurant and hospitality community is ready to deliver unforgettable experiences,” said Tori Bellos, Visit Boerne Marketing Specialist. “From world-class fine dining to our newest winery, there has never been a better time to plan a Hill Country getaway.”
Visitors are encouraged to plan a weekend getaway to experience Boerne's full range of elevated dining, wine, lodging, and relaxation offerings. Whether it's a romantic escape, a girlfriend's getaway, or a foodie weekend, Boerne delivers an experience that is both elevated and authentically Texan.
